Point to Prove: Richie Myler
Salford's Richie Myler

Richie Myler (Salford)

One of the brightest prospects in English rugby, Myler's arrival on the Super League stage is eagerly anticipated.

The 18-year-old scrum-half is in his second season with Salford after joining from Widnes and made a big impact in National League One, winning the Young Player of the Year award.

He also earned a place in Tony Smith's England train-on squad ahead of the World Cup and played in the friendly against Wales.

Although he missed out on a place on the plane to Australia, the experience will benefit him this season as will the wise words of some of Salford's more battle-hardened players.

He will hope to be Salford's first-choice scrum-half this season alongside New Zealand Jeremy Smith and also try to earn another England call-up.
